Bravo 1 vs. Revolution 4
 
I have a pair of 23" Revolution 4s on a 31' Fountain T.E. Center Console....

Would like to try a pair of Bravo 1s.. What size Bravos would be most similar or a little more pitch. The 23 Rev 4s are a pretty good size turns about 5600 rpms full fuel and a few people. (2007 300 Optimaxs)

Who sells Bravos for the best price?

I've been told that Bravo/1's are a bit "underpitched", so I would think
that a pair of 24p Bravo/1's might give you a pretty good comparative.

I agree with the 24P B-1s.

Is Throttle-Up still doing a Bravo test program? They're in your neck of the woods, give 'em a call.

I wonder how those 23P Rev-4s would work on my bone stock boat?

EDIT: Oh yeah, thanks Mark. Are all the B-1s 15.25" dia? What about the Rev-4s?

Only the 32P, 34P and 36P are typically seen in the full 15.25 diameter. Occassionally I see a 30P but it is more rare.

A 24P Bravo I would be comp. to a 23P Rev 4.

Do you guys have any small shaft 24s on the demo rack?:drink:

And what does a Bravo 1 go for these days $$

Yes, we have a testing program available. New Bravo I props are $509.99 which includes the solid hub kit.

What are you looking for out of the Bravos? I have ran both the Bravo and Rev4 on my boat and the Rev4s provided much better bow lift and ran a little "looser".

Ditto! The Rev4's on the Stinger was much better than the Bravo.

We have a test program including the Bravo 1's and Rev 4's if we can help.

Hey Brett,
Sent you an e-mail; when you have a chance, please comment.
Can you make me a 26.5-27p Rev 4 out of my ø14.5x28p Mach stern driver?:eureka:
I still haven't found a faster 4 blade than the B1 you modified for me.
The M+ is faster, but the handling...:rolleyes:

bbladesprops 07-26-2007 12:03 PM

Hey Pat,

We can't because of the geometry of the Mach.

The pitch progression, rake and diameter are different. We could make a similar replica as far as the blade shape but the rake and diameter wouldn't be matchable. The Mach may run better than now though if we changed that blade shape. It would be a experiment.

Bummer; are you sure a bigger hammer wouldn't help?:D

I think I'll put the thing up for sale. If it does not sell, then maybe we'll try that experiment this fall.

Anyone want a RH ø14.5x28p Mach stern driver?
It's been used one time since recon at BBlades.
$200 plus shipping...

That's the ticket!
